1.2.3.1.2. Mass x gravitational force

1.2.3.2. NOT mass

1.2.3.2.1. Amount of matter in the object

1.3. How to calculate force?

1.3.1. Force = mass x acceleration

1.3.2. Measured in Newton (N)

1.3.2.1. 1 N = 1 pascal x sq metre

2. Pressure

2.1.1. Pressure = force/area

2.1.2. Measured in pascal (pa)

2.1.2.1. 1 pa = 1 Newton/sq metre

2.2. What is pressure?

2.2.1. Force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object

2.2.2. Force acting on an area (per unit area)

2.3. Increasing pressure

2.3.1. Decrease surface area

2.4. Decreasing pressure

2.4.1. Increase surface area
